Las
Vegas (NV, USA) hosted an incredible ANIMEGACON 2013 from 14th
to 16th of June. Simply amazing. People enjoyed activities
like Friday night live where bands “Night Club” and “Eyeshine”
livened up the evening. Also there was the famous Masquerade
(Avianna, Carlos de Santiago, Jez Roth, Johnny Zabate as judges), a
competitive event where costumed skits that range from comedy to
dramatic fight scenes are presented to an audience and judges.
Masquerade's winners were Team
Magpie (Brian Polak and Heather Irete) who won a $2502 award.
Moreover, Jennifer Cihi (singing voice of Sailor Moon) sang for the
anime's fans and did an awesome performance. Other activities were
Cosplay lookalike contest (photoshoot by Anna Fischer with Linda Lee
and D-Piddy for winners), Japanese Fashion show, anime vs comic
heroes rave (with DJ Jinrei, DJ Bryan and Jeri Lee as a go-go), EGL
(Elegant, Gothic, Lolita) tea exchange & social, song idol search
(Johnny Yong Bosch, Mark Brooks, Jennifer Cihi as judges),
videogaming tournaments (Street fighter, Tekken, etc) and card games
(Magic, Yugioh). Especial menction for guest Steve Blum (voice of
“Spike Spiegel” from Cowboy Bebop among many others). As a
conclusion, we are proud of this event. What do we want?
